“…To solve this matter, the so-called cold ironing can locally remove emissions by supplying the moored ship from the terrestrial electrical grid [20][21][22]. Although such a technique is well-known in the supply/recharge of small low-voltage (LV) ships [23,24], environmental awareness has moved the focal point to large-power demanding vessels [7][8][9]. In this case, the application takes the name of high-voltage shore connection (HVSC), as the supply voltage to deliver a considerable power (i.e., tens of MW) to the onboard loads during the ship berthing is high [25].…”

“…Here, not only are wise energy management [39], peak-shaving solutions [40], or new port cranes supply [41] day-by-day becoming a reality, but even innovative microgrid architectures play a decisive role when the overall energy management is to be improved [42][43][44][45][46]. Nowadays, such a modernization is foreseeable in the industrial ports with real-time measurements of energy flows [47,48], as well as in the cruise ships port, in which conversely the main goal is the emissions removal during berthing [20][21][22][23][24][25]. This work investigates the last above aspect, for which a shore connection design for the cruise port of Trieste is taken as an example to develop a methodology to be further applied on the several ports in the Adriatic route.…”

Environmental Assessment and Regulatory Aspects of Cold Ironing Planning for a Maritime Route in the Adriatic Sea

The technology of cold ironing (or shore-to-ship power) can meaningfully reduce greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions from ships at the berth by powering the vessels from the electrical shore grid. While cold ironing constitutes an effective and affordable solution in northern Europe and America, economic, legal, and environmental factors still render this technology less attractive in southern Europe. This paper aims to unpack and analyze the economic, regulatory, and environmental factors that can foster cold ironing as a standard installation in the Mediterranean Sea. Based on a model design for the port of Trieste (Italy) as applied to a cluster of target ports in the Adriatic Sea (in Italy, Croatia, and Greece), this article evaluates the cold ironing payback period by comparing costs of shore side-plants with environmental externalities and O&M costs. Moreover, the paper addresses key regulatory bottlenecks arising in different European jurisdictions with regard to the setting-up and development of cold ironing, while appraising the legal and economic consequences of deploying cold ironing in light of the future inclusion of the maritime sector in the EU Emission Trading System.

“…Transients during connection and disconnection of vessels to the onshore grid must also be supported by both onshore and onboard power systems [9]. Moreover, all harbors are still not well-equipped for cold-ironing of vessels, and some technical regulations must be followed, depending on the kind of vessels [72] and the voltage and power requirements [115][116][117][118].…”

Design, Sizing, and Energy Management of Microgrids in Harbor Areas: A Review

et al. 2020

Energy efficiency and low-carbon energy systems are increasingly taken into account in seaports, due to climate change challenges and the evolution of environmental regulations. Thus, technological breakthroughs must be brought to numerous systems in harbors, such as harbor cranes, seaport vehicles, or the power supply of berthed vessels. These aspects may require the establishment of a microgrid in the harbor area. Microgrids have been subjected to a wide development on the mainland and islands, mostly for domestic loads. However, these are still scarce in harbor areas. Their development in such places faces several challenges, such as high power requirements, monitoring and management of a wide range of loads, energy policy framework, etc. Moreover, the establishment of a microgrid involves a study of sizing and of energy management, to avoid prohibitive costs and to verify load requirements. This paper provides a literature survey related to the development of microgrids in seaport areas. Firstly, the main components that occur in harbor microgrids are listed, and then a review of studies dealing with sizing and energy management is proposed. Finally, from this survey, innovative concepts and barriers are listed, with an up-to-date review of microgrid development in seaports worldwide.

“…Among them, shore-to-ship power technology can basically eliminate the emission of pollutants during the berthing period. Shore-to-ship power technology requires the installation of specialized equipment onshore and onboard, and ships are usually able to use shore power only at berths (Paul and Haddadian, 2011;Parise et al, 2015;Paul et al, 2018). In recent years, some studies have proposed a floating power platform to provide power for anchored ships (Jayasinghe et al, 2016;Hou, 2017;Kumar et al, 2017;Pan et al, 2018).…”

“…In 2018, Rene Prenc et al introduced the concept of High Voltage Shore Connection and its possible application in Croatian ports (Prenc et al, 2018). In the same year, Dev Paul et al reviewed low-voltage shore connection power systems for ships with up to 1,500 kVA and a voltage of 400-690 V (Paul et al, 2018). Kegalj and Traven (2018) introduced the possibility of implementing high-voltage power supplies in developing countries, using Croatia as an example, and considered their environmental benefits.…”

In this paper, a novel type of intelligent cable lifting device for shore-to-ship power connection systems is proposed. By analyzing the shortcomings of the commonly used lifting methods in inland ports, the structure and control circuit of the new cable lifting device are designed based on collaborative motor control. The reliability and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy are verified by establishing a mathematical model of the motor and through Simulink software simulation analysis. The cable lifting device can adjust the cable delivery position in inland ports. It can, at the same time, significantly reduce manual operation and improve the efficiency of shore-to-ship power connection operation at the port terminal.
